[02:03] <milosevic> I have a question
[02:04] <Plug> I have one too.  Are you asking your question from the bathroom? :)
[02:04] <milosevic> no, I just arrived
[02:04] <milosevic> :P
[02:04] <milosevic> I can ask from the bathroom connecting from my cell phone though
[02:04] <milosevic> :P
[03:24] <poningru> !automotix
[07:28] <Capso> "UWN"?
[07:28] <Capso> Ah. Weekly Newsletter.
[10:07] <jenda> muhehe... http://www.monipodio.net/tmp/poster-layout.jpg
[10:08] <jenda> That's the final layout. Goes out to pringing soon.
[10:11] <Capso> Looking good.
[10:12] <Capso> jenda: You draw that?
[10:12] <jenda> nope
[10:12] <jenda> Would love to say I did, but no, HanZo did.
[10:13] <jenda> I came up with the competition for the best design.
[10:13] <BHSPitLappy> that's a very nice looking competition, jenda!
[10:13] <BHSPitLappy> great work! :)
[10:13] <jenda> thx 
[10:13] <jenda> I can't WAIT to see those on paper.
[10:14] <BHSPitLappy> or on tall buildingsides
[10:14] <jenda> muhehe
[10:17] <BHSPitLappy> I actually find myself having trouble promoting switching to linux, though.
[10:17] <BHSPitLappy> I don't want to lie to people.
[10:17] <poningru> yarr mateys
[10:17] <poningru> midterms are over, paper was just finished
[10:17] <poningru> I think
[10:17] <jenda> That's very correct of you, BHSPitLappy :) it wouldn't do any good anyway.
[10:17] <BHSPitLappy> And I can't just say, "This probably won't work for you right. But please, consider changing your life around it"
[10:17] <poningru> after some sleep
[10:18] <poningru> will throw myself at marketing
[10:18] <poningru> I wanna go crazy for edgy release
[10:18] <poningru> marketing blitz
[10:18] <BHSPitLappy> lol
[10:18] <jenda> muhehe
[10:18] <BHSPitLappy> paint the town brown!
[10:18] <jenda> poningru: I think you'll need posters.
[10:18] <poningru> YEAH
[10:19] <poningru> see I wanna get all the loco teams to send out EPKs to as many media outlets as possible
[10:19] <BHSPitLappy> jenda, think you could help me try to find a local (to me) company that can make foily case stickers like I've been wanting?
[10:19] <BHSPitLappy> I could do a bulk order and distribute
[10:19] <BHSPitLappy> but I don't even know where to begin looking for someone who can make these things
[10:19] <jenda> BHSPitLappy: That'd be really great.
[10:20] <jenda> BHSPitLappy: where do you live?
[10:20] <jenda> It's all in the printers :)
[10:20] <BHSPitLappy> DFW area, texas
[10:20] <jenda> DFW? :)
[10:20] <BHSPitLappy> I don't really see the marketing value in the stickers very much, I just want one for myself.
[10:21] <jenda> BHSPitLappy: there is none.
[10:21] <BHSPitLappy> when you think about it, stickers are just for existing users.
[10:21] <jenda> It was a proof of concept batch.
[10:21] <jenda> Very exact thinking.
[10:21] <BHSPitLappy> swag for existing users isn't a bad thing, though :)
[10:21] <BHSPitLappy> DFW = Dallas / Fort Worth
[10:22] <jenda> aha, ok
[10:28] <jenda> BHSPitLappy: See if this is any help... http://www.printaccess.com/main/piamidam/index_G.html
[10:29] <jenda> And this could help too... http://www.printcities.com/printing_companies_directo.htm
[10:29] <jenda> BHSPitLappy: What I did was that i wrote a polite email asking about the options on stickers etc. and sent it to about five printers. Only two responded, and I chose one.
[10:29] <jenda> Choose one that values their customer :)
[10:30] <jenda> And be prepared to order 1000 stickers.
[10:30] <jenda> I already sold 1000, and now I have 500 more - it doesn't seem to be a problem.
[10:31] <BHSPitLappy> well, this is going to be more difficult.
[10:31] <BHSPitLappy> I want one that looks as good as the windows sticker on this thing
[10:32] <jenda> Yes, everyone knows what they look like. You can ask the printer if they can make it look like the windows stikcer....
[10:32] <jenda> I suppose they could make 500 if 1000 seems too much to you, but it won't be cheap.
[10:32] <jenda> You will still probably be even able to make a profit.
[10:34] <BHSPitLappy> I would try to sell a chunk of them to you :P
[10:35] <BHSPitLappy> it's too bad I don't work in shipping anymore
[10:35] <poningru> god wtf is up with canonical taking forever to make announcement
[10:35] <BHSPitLappy> I've got to be off to bed, gnight
[10:35] <poningru> nn guys
[10:35] <BHSPitLappy> what announcement
[10:36] <jenda> good night
[11:16] <poningru> gaah cannot sleep
[11:33] <jenda> poningru: yay, do something for Ubuntu in the meantime :)
[11:33] <jenda> reminds me... gotta-get-off-the-comp and go to school :)
[11:34] <poningru> zzzz
[03:51] <jenda> milosevic: please turn off your ... argh, he left :)
[07:23] <Mitch_> jenda; where is the wiki for the powered by stickers?
[07:23] <jenda> Mitch_: /MarketingTeam/Shipping
[07:23] <Mitch_> gracias
[07:23] <jenda> np\
[07:24] <jenda> keep in mind it's meant to be a temporary set up till I have a site.
[07:24] <Mitch_> gotcha.
[07:24] <Mitch_> and do you know menza's wiki page?
[07:24] <MenZa> I don't have any.
[07:25] <MenZa> Never found it a necessity.
[07:25] <MenZa> After all, I don't contribute much :)
[07:25] <Mitch_> hmm...
[07:25] <Mitch_> who made the other powered by stickers?
[07:25] <Mitch_> the Kubuntu ones
[07:25] <Mitch_> and what-not
[07:25] <MenZa> I did.
[07:25] <MenZa> I made them.
[07:26] <Mitch_> and they dont have a wiki page?
[07:26] <Mitch_> =(
[07:26] <Mitch_> any place i can find an image of them?
[07:26] <jenda> Mitch_: yep, there is one place... lemme link you :)
[07:26] <Mitch_> thansk =)
[07:27] <MenZa> Mitch_: http://flickr.com/photos/menza/
[07:27] <MenZa> Search 'Ubuntu'
[07:27] <Mitch_> ah ha -- thanks ! =)

[07:52] <jenda> Mitch_: :)
[07:53] <Mitch_> ?
[07:53] <Mitch_> =)
[12:01] <popey> o/
[12:01] <jenda> yay ;)
[12:01] <popey> I may get called away for baby-feeding at any moment
[12:01] <popey> hello
[12:02] <jenda> hehe :)
[12:02] <jenda> jono said you were thinking of selling some marketing material
[12:02] <popey> ahhh
[12:02] <popey> *that* idea
[12:02] <jenda> I'm very interested in this, but of course, in all your other marketing ideas.
[12:03] <popey> well, it struck me that we have cafepress, which lets be honest isn't great, it's a generic logo on an item
[12:03] <popey> oi! trunky wanna bun?
[12:03] <jenda> cbx33: not at all ;)
[12:03] <popey> :)
[12:03] <jenda> popey: agreed
[12:03] <jenda> In that case I understand why jono notified me :)
[12:04] <popey> A uk/european based channel for selling merchandise would be great for us over here
[12:04] <popey> need to do some sums really
[12:04] <cbx33> popey, ++
[12:04] <popey> it's all just floaty ideas at the moment
[12:04] <jenda> I'm working on creating a website that'd encourage people to create DIY material themselves and sell it out to the community. The site would also serve as a portal for the info at hand
[12:05] <popey> plus if it's a little more bespoke then it can be less bland/generic than cafepress
[12:05] <popey> and people might be more inclined to buy more stuff
[12:05] <popey> (which is good)
[12:05] <jenda> And, in order to prove how entirely possible this is, I created a batch of 1000 Ubuntu stickers, now have several hundred more from MenZa and am working on posters.
[12:05] <cbx33> popey, like an ubuntu thinkgeek ;)
[12:05] <jenda> ok
[12:05] <popey> user submitted designs would also be neat
[12:05] <popey> yeah, I saw your poster, like it
[12:06] <jenda> honestly, I think we will have _only_ user submitted designs :)
[12:06] <popey> well there's the generic stuff
[12:06] <jenda> that's the way the FLOSS world works ;)
[12:06] <jenda> ok, true
[12:06] <popey> ubuntu / kubuntu / edubuntu logos on t-shirts/mouse mats etc
[12:06] <popey> which some people like
[12:06] <jenda> but still there has to be someone to create+print that out.
[12:06] <popey> but yeah, different stuff is good
